Born with an artistic eye, she designed clothes and jewelry for Tiffany's in her early career. She was married to John Simms "Shipwreck" Kelly and had her only son, John Whitney Kelly (named for his godfather John Hay Whitney.) A second marriage to Peter Larkin, whose great- grandfather Captain Richard King founded the King Ranch of Kingsville, TX, ended tragically with Mr. Larkin's death at age 41. She had a brief marriage to James Overton Winston III of Houston, TX. Her fourth and final marriage to James Douglas Auchincloss lasted twenty years until Mr. Auchincloss's death in 2000. KK made beautiful homes wherever she lived, creating unique interiors and gardens in New York City, London, Paris, Hobe Sound, FL and her beloved Dark Harbor, ME, where she helped renovate a Catholic Church. At 87, she renovated a Norman chateau in Brookville, NY celebrating her love of 18th C furniture and decorative arts. KK was involved in many charities including the Brandywine Conservancy and the Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, PA. She had her portrait done by many artists, including Jamie Wyeth and Andy Warhol. She was fun and funny, adored dancing and catching a man's eye. As a hostess, she entertained with flair, loved intelligent conversation and sophisticated wit. KK lived in a world of rotary phones, tea at four and champagne swizzle sticks. She was interested in imagination and what sparked it, and credited her unique abilities to gifts from God.
